This study analysed the impact of corruption and population growth on two selected macroeco-
nomic variables in Nigeria. The results from the Multiple Regression Estimations show that pop-
ulation growth has significant impact on both unemployment and economic growth. Corruption
control (CC) variable on the other hand, was found to decrease unemployment and increase eco-
nomic growth. Furthermore, the findings revealed a long-run relationship among the variables of
interest in the models. Therefore, based on these findings, the study recommended amongst others,
that government should enact appropriate policies that will reduce unemployment and sustain
steady economic growth. Furthermore, state institutions and mechanisms for corruption control
should be strengthened in order to reduce the negative impact of corruption on the economy. Fi-
nally there is need to enact and implement good investment policies aimed at attracting more do-
mestic and foreign investments in the country since investment and manpower development are
major ingredients for rapid and sustainable productivity and growth in the economy.
